Changes coming to the IPSA Scholarship Program in 2023

Since 2015, we have continually evolved the IPSA Scholarship program every few year to try and 'unlock' the best possible program to help us build value for IPSA Member Companies and the Next Generation of Seed Company Staff.


We have been very fortunate to see incredible students come through our program. I am so proud of the work the IPSA Scholarship Committee has done in the selection process. There are so many names to recognize that have made such a difference in this program. Special call out to Jeff Skemp, our Current Scholarship Chair, Shane Ohlde, our previous chair, and Julie Peterson, who did so much for so long. A big recognition to the Burrus Seed Family for their generous contributions.


Beginning in a few weeks, we will launch the 2023 IPSA Scholarship Program. And things will change again.


We are dedicated to awarding $20,000 in Scholarships each year. In 2023, we are opening the Scholarship Program up to awards as large as $4,000.


Additionally, we are putting a large emphasis on IPSA Members, their staff and their customers. As we open the scholarship program, the first 30 days will only be open to IPSA Members, Employees and Customers. After that 30 days, we will open to everyone else.


We are doing this because the IPSA Scholarship Program is about you - the IPSA Members. It is about the future of your business and we want to invest with you.


We will only promote the initial opening of the scholarship through our Newsletter - so please be on the look out!
